Python Operators

Hello guys, here we will look into different types of operators in Python.

Operators in python are special symbols in python that carry out different types of computation.

We divide these operators differently as per the types of computation:-

1)    Arithmetic Operators: - These are used to carry out mathematical operations like addition, subtraction and more.

Operator	Meaning
+	Add two operands or unary plus
-	Subtract right operand from the left or unary minus
*	Multiply two operands
/	Divide left operand by the right one (always results into float)
%	Modulus - remainder of the division of left operand by the right
//	Floor division - division that results into whole number adjusted to the left in the number line
**	Exponent - left operand raised to the power of right

Example

 Output

We can use them where ever we want to in our code according to the need.

2)    Comparison Operators: - They are used for comparing values. It either returns True or False according to the condition. It can also be used into so many other programs. 

Operator	Meaning
>	Greater than
<	Lesser than
==	Equal to
!=	Not equal to
>=	Greater than or equal to
<=	Lesser than or equal to

Example

Try out the last two and check the output on your own for better understanding.

3)    Logical Operators: -

Operator	Meaning
And	True if both the operands are true
Or	True if either of the operands is true
Not	True if operand is false

Output

4)    Bitwise Operators: - Bitwise operators act on operands as if they were strings of binary digits. They operate bit by bit, hence the name.

Like 2 in binary is 10 and 8 eight in binary is 1000.

Operator	Meaning
&	Bitwise AND
|	Bitwise OR
~	Bitwise NOT
^	Bitwise XOR
>>	Bitwise right shift
<<	Bitwise left shift

Output     

      

5)    Assignment Operators: -

Assignment operators are used in Python to assign values to variables.

Operator	Example	Equivalent to
=	x = 5	x = 5
+=	x += 5	x = x + 5
-=	x -= 5	x = x - 5
*=	x *= 5	x = x * 5
/=	x /= 5	x = x / 5
%=	x %= 5	x = x % 5
//=	x //= 5	x = x // 5
**=	x **= 5	x = x ** 5
&=	x &= 5	x = x & 5
|=	x |= 5	x = x | 5
^=	x ^= 5	x = x ^ 5
>>=	x >>= 5	x = x >> 5
<<=	x <<= 5	x = x << 5
